Answers to the following questions will appear in red.
- What was your first personal vehicle?
A Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition. It was my mom’s. I think it was a 1996. I’m pretty that riding around in a mom vehicle when you’re 16-years-old is not too cool.
- What type of music do you listen to?
Mainly rock with a little bit of hip-hop. 90’s alternative rock is my favorite.
- What is your favorite pro or college sports team?
North Carolina Tar Heels
- What hobby do you have away from the track?
Golfing, and I’m terrible at it.
- If you had a free vacation to anywhere in the world, where would you go?
I’ve got a lot of friends in Australia. It’s beautiful over there and there’s racing over there.
- What is your all-time favorite movie or television show?
The Office
- Who is a non racer you admire(living or dead)?
One person I look up to a lot is the Panthers Tight End Greg Olsen. He does a lot of good work for a lot of people and it seems like he’s always doing something positive in somebody’s life.
Chris Ferguson’s No. 22
- What is your favorite restaurant?
There’s a place in my hometown called Sammy’s Pub. It serves good beer and I’m actually in the beer club there and it has good pub food.
- Name a skill or ability you wish you had.
I’d love to be really good at football so I could make a lot of money then come back and race later on.
- Are you a late sleeper or an early riser?
I’m actually a late sleeper because I work so late. I like to sleep in unless I have stuff to do.
